Do you mean branching as in skill trees in other mmo's? Or like the VEATS in this mmo?

Quote:No love for ex-shot? It's the blaze/cosmic burst/power burst of the set. High damage with whatever secondary effect, sure you have to be close but that's just the same as the other moves I mentioned. I agree with the suppressive fire (insert foghorn noise), I did skip that, but I also skipped pistols too.Originally Posted by Santorican
Two powers that are skippable IMO on Pistols is Executioner's Shot and Suppresive Fire. From Kinetics I'd say Inertial Reduction and Increase Density. I'm working on a Pistols/Kin build at home, I'll have to post it up once I'm done. -

Dual Pistols is probably balanced pretty well from what I can see so far.
But if it were granted anything like that I would say it should be - To Hit. This is probably thematically more accurate as it would be like cover fire making it more difficult for people to get a good accurate shot at you.
But to be honest I'd get out of the way and take cover from any of the other blast attacks probably more than I would the Dual Pistols. Think about it a lot of things are bullet proof, they won't be scared and ducking from a couple little guns pointing at them.
Blast sets just don't seem to have access to that kind of thing. If they did they should be in the form of a Debuff.
I agree with this. Maybe add a little -tohit to the lethal rounds and leave the other elemental rounds as they are? It would be a good reason to use the regular ammo, I find I never do. (-tohit > KB) -
Just hit 35 last night and got ripper for the chosen move and loving the KB in it. Between my Arctic air, Ripper, thorntrops and ice slick/glacier the mitigation is great. Frosty takes alpha for me, survivability is comfortable. I never liked doms for their squishyness but this guy is a really good soloer, and is loved on teams I've taken him on. I'll start io-ing him when the new email function hits, right now he's common-io'd. any suggestions for procs and sets? Naturally I'm trying to get as close to perma-dom as possible, but have never attempted it yet.

Quote:YES! I would lovelovelove to just place the enhancements in another move! It's such a pain right now!Originally Posted by Bill Z Bubba
Burn and rebuild the respec system from scratch with completely new interface. Allow both the current "all powers then all slots" mode or "true level up" mode.
Allow removal and storage of all enhancements during respec. Note: Available enhancements slots = number of slots in build.
Allow transfer of enhancements between builds. (Move not copy)
storing all your enhancements during a respec wouldn't be that bad would it? The 10-limit is garbage, I don't think it would cause a problem, heck might even change the market for the better (or not)... -

good post! I now have a better grasp on this!

Happy for you Defenders.

Quote:wow, so it leads into an even bigger can of worms. that's one bittersweet tale. Sounds like it would have been a blast, but ended up ticking off the pvpers. I'm hoping for a resurrection of it. Hopefully one that pleases everyone on at least some level or another. (yah, I know. Wishful thinking)Originally Posted by M_I_Abrahms
Unfortunately, either the Trial or the Items themselves have never worked right. Exploits and bugs have plagued the entire system. What may have been the killing blow was when the devs tested, that's when they found out about PvP's imbalance, and thus the PvP changes.

nice, thanks for the 411, everyone!

sounds pretty cool all the same.

So I guess I just missed it then (came in 2 weeks pre-i14). Just after my OP, I remembered seeing a raid button on my VG window. Did everyone actually have visible bases? Or would they just tp to each other's bases?
-
From time to time on the forums I have seen the term "base raids" referred to. Apparently it was something that was in game before but isn't anymore. I'm only coming up on my 12-month vet badge in April so I guess I missed this. What was it? Was it fun? Why did they stop it? I read in the web blog that all the threads are on right now that it was coming back possibly. Is there a build that would be good for this or will anything (io'd or not) do?
-
everytime I go to Warburg or SC just for the badges for accolades I get stomped 5 times. Know what I do? I take it in stride because it's a PVP ZONE!!!! lol.

I'm very intigued, but yah what about i18? I feel backwards...

My beef is with Grounded from /ElA. PITA! Taking out the logbow flyers is a bit rough...

Energy blast gets:
Arm cannon (which let's face it 90% of energy blasts powers, especially the snipe, could be used for, just make the arm cannon customisable).
Energy rifle (harder to do since the emenation points need to be changed)
and so on. -
Ultimately, bottom line, we have enough gun powersets as it is.
We have DP and AR. I really don't think the devs would go about making yet another "pew pew pew brakkabrakkabrakka" set as it's seeming to be done over and over again now. The only thing that made /DP unique was swap ammo (which I love). I'd like to see the plasma rifle powerset, have suggested it before, but I don't think it will happen for that very reason, sadly...let alone dissecting a powerset to make a new similar one.

I don't think he had to.

I like AR/ the way it is. I have scratched my head over what gives it the name, and then I took one to 50. There was plenty of assaulting going on, lol. My AR/Traps corr is amazing and I wouldn't change him for anything.
